It all comes down to who threw down first.
It is not advisable to follow someone you think is a criminal, but it is in no way illegal. If Trayvon hit him first and started banging his head on the pavement then he has every right to stop a potentially deadly attack. It IS a crime to assault someone. What should he do? Just give up and say "Oh well, kids will be kids"?
As far as "stand your ground laws", here is what you give up without such a law: Let's say some Anders Brevik kind of maniac starts shooting you and your family across the street from me. I would likely have my CC weapon on me and be in a position to help. However, without a stand your ground law, I would run away. Sorry, but I can't risk going to jail just to save your kids.  Perhaps you could call the cops? Because when seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

Um that is not correct.  If a crime is in progress, you have the right under common law to plead self-defence for any reasonable injury you inflict preventing it.  For example, giving a mugger a bloody nose even though he was robbing an old lady, not you, is perfectly legal.

"Stand your ground" takes this a step further.  If you think the guy is going to mug the old lady, maybe you can kill him.  The "reasonable" test is removed.

In this case, if Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, Zimmerman was well within his rights to kill him both under common law and "stand your ground" reinforces this.  On the other hand, if the voice screaming for mercy in the 911 call is that of Trayvon, Zimmerman is in trouble.


Maybe it was Trayvon screaming for assistance while on top of Zman and banging his head on the sidewalk.

I've seen people do that before.

It is indeed self-defense if Trayvon was a threat beforehand. Assault and attempting to cease a weapon warrants a gun shot. The threat had to be eliminated.

The threat could have been eliminated by not chasing.  That whole chase thing is what makes Zimmerman guilty.  He chased someone who he had no previous interaction with.  Trayvon did not steal or injure from Zimmerman to warrant being chased.  

If Zimmerman is not guilty, then it is ok to chase anyone in your neighborhood out.  Even people who live there.  Who did nothing.  

Do you want someone following you, chasing you around your own neighborhood?

It is not a crime for somebody to follow me.

It is not a crime for my assailant to shoot me once I start assaulting them and try to take their weapon.

Stalking is a crime.

Stalking isn't a crime unless a crime is committed dummy.

And whilst on the subject of the "horrible tragic shooting of Trayvon"... let's take a look at revisionist history, shall we? In an effort to keep the flames of allegorical racism stoked there have been 2,537 edits to the wiki page on this story, so the "facts" that are coming into common hysterical public use here have been so spot on that it has required an average of 3.5 changes PER HOUR since the story broke. That's your liberal media cabal right there, framing reality just the way they want you to see it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Words_of_wisdom#On_Wikipedia_and_the_Cabal

There is no cabal. Tongue The number of edits reflect how disputed the topic is, not how biased. "Only" 3.5 vandal/troll edits per hour can be reverted effortlessly.

There is no statistic that will tell you how inaccurate an article is.

Just a few observations viv a vis the earlier photos that I have been asked to comment on...

What is the deal with having cap and gown ceremonies for little kids "graduating" from pre-school? No way in hell that kid on the right is old enough for high school or college, so I find it a little twisted and somewhat condescending to have him enjoy his "graduation" pomp and circumstance as a 7 year old.

And why do we have Masonic symbols on his cap? All Illuminati issues aside, this little fellow is far too young to be a Mason of any Level or Degree, so I'm guessing that the hat is a fake. Probably stolen.

As to that cherubic lad on the left... that is clearly not a good example of a Skinhead White. Most of those markings are fakes, executed in Sharpie. Anyone familiar with tattoos at even a rudimentary level could confirm that there is no way on earth you could achieve that level of perfection in ink application in so many diverse regions of the face. Next- the markings are not consistent... a Skin who proclaims he is the "Property of Jolene" above all other labels? Really, a Jewish sounding name like Jolene is more important than swastikas and "HUN"? Un-freaking-likely. And most modern day Skins do not use the traditional swastika, preferring instead the far more arcane images like the twin lightning bolts, 88, the Celtic Cross and the tri-legged cross.

And those piercing baby blue eyes- while clearly a race-baiters wet dream, are nothing more evil than photoshoppery.

Oh, and if you are one of the sad souls who actually thinks that gassing anybody on the basis of skin color, or any other characteristic... some of those folks are armed. Approach with caution if you want to bring your traveling gas show to my town.

I do understand that, I guess what I really meant had to do with how this is getting national if not international coverage, when it is just a shooting. It happens all the time near here, and you barely hear about it in the news.

Its rare for an unarmed 17 year old to be killed and the shooter not get arrested.  Even though Trayvon had ID on him, he was tagged as a John Doe and his family found him 3 days later.  The shooter may well have been acting in self-defence but the police have no excuse for the way the case was handled.

Link to source because I read they called the police the next morning when he did not return home and he was identified that day his father called.
...snip...

There is none - I don't remember where I read it and the BBC says Trayvon Martin wasn't carrying ID.

My bad.  It looks like the police wanted to charge but were overruled so I was wrong on 2 counts there Sad

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.


I do know that arguing that picture would be fruitless.

So, I'll save a few keystrokes and let Lou do it.

Ah, but Trayvon was the original instigator in this matter, and he got what was coming to him.  He went looking for a fight and found one he couldn't handle, and died because of his own actions. No amount of crying, or "I could have been him 20 years ago" bullshit is going to change the facts of this matter. Zimmerman acted in self-defense after a premeditated assault, and the world has lost one more wanna-be gangbanger. Boo fucking hoo.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!  

The sad overwhelming narrative here is how the bitcoin community is dominated by the public school narrative and mainstream media that blacks are always the victim.  They would make the same case for the murder at the same time as the Zimmerman incident:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2117695/Brutal-home-invasion-Oklahoma-couple-ends-65-year-romance-meeting-blind-date.html

Or the Christian/Shannon killings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom

Here's a hint forum, 1 in 9 American black men are not in jail because of "racism" but because despicable actions that led a jury of 12 or judge of one to punish them for their actions.  Blacks have killed more people in the last 50 years then all the deaths in WWII it is little wonder that Hispanics in LA and elsewhere are ethnically cleansing their neighborhoods of them.

In a major urban center in the last 6 months I have seen 4 blacks defecate in public, 1 sexually assault a girlfriend in public transportation, and 2 wielding a knife in public for no reason.  

I write this as a victim of multiple violent black male crimes which have either been unsolved or had charges thrown out.  I have no doubt “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA.” http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/29/second-trayvon-martin-twitter-feed-identified/ started the assault.

You are fucking idiot. Only soviet union lost over 25 million people in WW2, across the globe the number is around 70 million.

Fucking white trash retard.

And fully half those deaths of the Soviet people were caused by order of the Soviet leadership at the time, due to the utterly incredible philosophy of defending sacred places in the Rodina simply because the name matched the fuckwit leader "ograd" and the remaining deaths were from the ally they sided with in the beginning of the conflict, who turned around and tried to fuck them ala Napoleon with Operation Barbarossa. So you want pity for piss poor demonic leadership? Sorry New Soviet Boy, those 25 million were just cleaning up the shallow end of the gene pool. If you were on air defense it's a pity we never bombed your ass, it would have been a cake-walk.

Blah blah blah. My genes are a lot more better than yours according to you.

No, you just have a really freakin' big shallow end, filled with willing fucktoys of the nomenklatura.

The Judge will allow George Zimmerman to have bail?

It is not a crime for my assailant to shoot me once I start assaulting them and try to take their weapon.

Actually it is a crime, even in Florida.  Otherwise how could you defend your self against an assailant?  With your logic I can go out and just start picking fights.  If I am on the losing side, I just shoot the guy!

Also, is it considered stalking and chasing if someone calls 911?  Usually the first person that calls the police is the victim.  Another reason to never trust the police.

There were 806,316 homicides in the US between 1965 and 2004, and 588,611 of them were committed by blacks, of which 179,808 were blacks who murdered Whites.  322,526 of these homicides were not cleared, and only 483,790 were cleared, and of those Whites murdered by blacks, 43,541 were cleared and 136,267 were not cleared.  In just four decades, American blacks killed almost as many Whites as were killed in WWII, four times as many Whites as were killed in Vietnam, and 60 times as many Whites as were killed in 911 or Iraq

Zimmerman and Trayvon are not gladiators settling half a century of perceived wrongs.  Its 2 guys, both of whom were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
